Most Dangerous Cities →
A new survey of the world’s most deadly cities show that the top 33 are in the Americas, with the vast majority along the drug highway in North America and northern South America, beginning with San Pedro Sula, Honduras, followed by Ciudad Juarez. This includes New Orleans and Detroit. At #34 sits Cape Town. Mosul is #44. What do all these cities in the Americas have in common? I can think of...

As was expected, the Supreme Court declined to create a heightened standard for judges to use in evaluating the admissibility of eyewitness testimony, despite the overwhelming evidence that it is much less reliable than commonly assumed. The opinion, written by Ginsburg, argued that judges only need to conduct an inquiry into whether an eyewitness ID is reliable if there is actual police...

“The Way It Was”: Abortion in the US before Roe v. Wade.
I’m just going to post this as often as possible until pro-lifers read it: abortion rates are the same everywhere, whether abortion is legal or not. 70,000 pregnant people die every year from unsafe abortions, and 5 million more are permanently injured or mutilated by them. KEEP IT LEGAL. KEEP IT SAFE....

SPOILERS AND WILD THEORISING AHEAD
OK SO after the Richard Brook reveal (and we can see from Sherlock’s face the very first time John says “Richard Brook” that he knows it means “Reichenbach” and is thus a setup), Sherlock goes to Molly and tells her he thinks he’s going to die:

Thoughts on menstruation supplies
lesbo-a-gogo:
bubonickitten:
I refuse to call them ~*feminine hygiene*~ supplies.
Anyway… why are the boxes all dainty and soft? It’s all pastel pink, pastel blue, flowers, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I like pastels and soft colours, but I think there’s a lot of untapped potential here.
Think about it. I bleed for days on end. Without dying. That’s pretty fucking metal.
So why can’t boxes for...

Helen Mirren is the epitome of the phrase “Age ain’t nothing but a number.” She looks so hot here. I love the navy blue and the waist jewels. I don’t even think Helen knows how to dress bad.
OK first of all Tumblr, it took me WAY too long to find a picture of Her Mirrenness in the Golden Globes tag. Secondly, this is not as stunning as her usual, I think. The top...

Wow did Paula Patton look gorgeous! That yellow is so amazing on her. She’s had somewhat of a rocky past on the red carpet, but this was a complete knock-out. She looks gorgeous.
